Lightning Protection for farms

open access: yes, 1995
Lightning, one of natures most powerful forces, can cause a great deal of damage, particularly in a farm environment. A lightning strike can start fires in buildings, damage electrical equipment, and electrocute humans and livestock.

Atomic and Molecular Ions in Atmospheric Chemistry: Interfacial Reactivity, Emerging Mechanisms, and Future Perspectives

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 20, 28 October 2025.
Abstract Atomic and molecular ions (AIs and MIs) play distinct yet complementary roles in atmospheric chemistry, influencing aerosol reactivity, cloud formation, and climate. AIs, with high charge density and structural simplicity, generate intense interfacial fields that accelerate reactions such as halogen activation and sulfate formation.

Aerosols Shape the Vertical Structure of Convective Overshooting in Southeast Asia Through Microphysical Processes

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 19, 16 October 2025.
Abstract Convective overshooting significantly influences atmospheric material and energy cycles and can cause severe social impacts; nevertheless, aerosol effects on its microphysical structure and associated extreme weather remain unclear. Using a more accurate algorithm of detecting convective overshooting and 10 years of high‐resolution data, this ...

The effect of the Earth's oblate spheroid shape on the accuracy of a time-of-arrival lightning ground strike locating system [PDF]

open access: yes
The algorithm used in previous technology time-of-arrival lightning mapping systems was based on the assumption that the earth is a perfect spheroid. These systems yield highly-accurate lightning locations, which is their major strength.

Cutoff and Emergence of Dart Leaders in an Unbranched Positive Leader Simulation

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 19, 16 October 2025.
Abstract Channel cutoff is the process by which an active lightning channel cools down, goes dark, and loses its ability to effectively conduct electricity. Current cutoff precedes several lightning phenomena, notably dart leaders and return strokes, but the process by which a hot, highly‐conducting leader channel can undergo current cutoff is poorly ...
